Richard I
England’s King Richard I, Lion-Hearted (shown here), along with France’s King Philip II Augustus, and the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick I Barbarossa, led the Third Crusade (1189-1192). Although the crusaders failed to defeat the Muslims, Richard I negotiated a treaty granting Christian pilgrims free access to Jerusalem.
